RCF Delivers for Award-Winning The Box Nottingham

Arc Inspirations continue to grow their city-centre BOX concept with a new 650-capacity venue in Nottingham. 

This time housed in a beautiful Grade II-listed former bank building. Designed for sport, live music and "Bandeoke" sessions, The Box needed a sound system that could handle everything from background ambience to full live performance.

Pro Technical (UK) Ltd delivered a full RCF solution throughout the venue, including an HDL 10-A active line array for the main entertainment area. “This is a large, complex and historic building and so our requirements of the system were demanding,” said Arc Inspirations Head of Bar Operations, Mark Austin. “We needed something absolutely brilliant, and that is what we’ve got – we couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Pro Technical director, Richard Anderson, said: “When leading this element of the build with Arc, we chose RCF for the range of products needed to provide sound coverage and clarity in a Grade II-listed rotunda. HDL 10-A’s were deployed in this area to control the sound dispersion and minimize reflections.”

Two hangs of HDL 10-A were installed to manage coverage and control reflections inside the rotunda, supported by SUB S 8015LP low-profile subwoofers beneath the stage and fixed seating. The bar areas feature the COMPACT M Series with M 10, M 08 and M 06 units distributed throughout the space, alongside additional S 12 subwoofers for low-end support.

The venue recently won ‘Best New Site’ at the 2024 Publican Awards, with sound playing a key role in its success.
